* feat(aside): browser-driver contract, cookbook, research and fallback resolvers
{{ASIDE_SETUP}} (readiness probe + ten rules for driving the user's real browser), {{ASIDE_COOKBOOK}} (script shapes verified live against Aside CLI 1.26: one flow per aside repl script, CDP console hook before navigation, evidence lines, session-directory artifact handoff, GSTACK_STEP_OK sentinel), {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}} (research through aside exec, WebSearch when Aside is absent, knowledge otherwise) and {{BROWSE_FALLBACK}} (the fifteen-row Aside-step to $B-command table plus the rules that differ, so every browsing skill keeps working on gstack's own headless browser). test/aside-driver.test.ts pins the sentences and asserts every browsing skill carries the Aside block followed by the fallback; test/helpers/aside-available.ts is the shared live-Aside probe.

* feat(render): Aside-first local-HTML renderer with the bundled browser as fallback
lib/aside-render.ts serves the HTML's directory on loopback (Aside refuses file:// URLs), opens it with waitUntil load, prints through CDP Page.printToPDF so tagged output, outlines, header/footer templates and page numbers survive, emulates device metrics for sized screenshots, and writes in-page evaluations to files; when Aside is absent it runs the same spec through the browse daemon (newtab, load, js, pdf, screenshot, closetab) and reports ENGINE=aside|browse. bin/gstack-render.ts is the CLI skill templates call. lib/claude-bin.ts and lib/error-handling.ts become the canonical copies (browse/src re-exports them).

* refactor(browse): /browse drives Aside first, with the $B reference behind the fallback
Contract, cookbook, mode choice (aside repl by default, aside exec for reading), report format, the fallback section, and the full command reference carved on demand.

* refactor(qa): /qa and /qa-only drive Aside, fall back to $B
QA_METHODOLOGY runs every phase as Aside scripts (orient, explore, document, re-test, mobile viewport via CDP emulation, links via HEAD fetch); the authenticate phase is 'you are already signed in'; a 13th rule requires consent before mutating actions on non-local targets; the fallback section translates each step onto $B. The qa E2E tests run on whichever engine is present.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(design): design-review, design-consultation, design-shotgun, plan-design-review, design-html drive Aside
Design-system extraction is one script printing FONTS/COLORS/HEADINGS/TOUCH_TARGETS/NAV; competitor research confirms the exact URLs before opening them in the real browser and runs on the bundled browser when Aside is absent; design-html's viewport screenshots, sketches and comparison boards render through gstack-render.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(deploy): benchmark, canary, land-and-deploy Step 7, devex-review drive Aside
One aside repl script per page prints NAV/PAINT/LCP/RESOURCES/SCRIPTS/CSS/SUMMARY (benchmark), CONSOLE_ERRORS/NAV/TEXT + screenshot (canary, re-run every 60s), and the post-deploy check reads responseStatus from the navigation entry; each carries the $B fallback.

* feat(third-party-actions): Aside is the recommended driver; gstack's visible browser stays the fallback
The readiness probe is lifted from {{ASIDE_SETUP}} at gen time (byte-identity pinned) and rule 3 points at browse/SKILL.md for how to drive; the consent question offers Aside first and gstack's own visible browser (handoff/resume for sign-in) as the fallback, as v1.72 framed it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scrape): /scrape reads pages through Aside; the browser-skills runtime rides the fallback
Look-then-extract scripts build the JSON inside the page and print it between JSON_START/JSON_END; aside exec for fuzzy intents; on the $B fallback the browser-skills match/prototype flow and /skillify apply as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(make-pdf): print through Aside first, the bundled browser otherwise
asideClient.ts replaces the direct $B client with one render() call per PDF (the exact option mapping the browse pdf command had: paper, margins, header/footer/page numbers, tagged, outline, printBackground, preferCSSPageSize, Paged.js wait); the diagram pre-pass, oversized-image downscale and DOCX rasters each run as one render script with per-fence try/catch; exit 4 now means no browser is available and names both remedies; $P setup reports which engine it found. The e2e gates run on whichever engine is present, so the Linux lane exercises the fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(diagram): the triplet is one gstack-render call
SVG, PNG and excalidraw from one invocation over the content-addressed bundle staged under /tmp/gstack-render; every diagram type gets an excalidraw export; gstack-render picks the engine and prints ENGINE=; the diagram E2E gates on either engine.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(research): web research runs in Aside first, WebSearch second
The planning, review, design, security and investigate skills research through {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}}; WebSearch stays in allowed-tools as the fallback; testing.ts's bootstrap step follows; skeleton ceilings ratcheted for the research block.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(setup,gen-skill-docs): prune renders of skills that no longer exist
setup gains _prune_stale_generated for every host tree and the doc generator removes gstack-* output dirs it did not write, so a skill removed from the source tree can never linger in an install.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: registries, budgets and suite reconciled for Aside-first with the $B fallback
Touchfiles + E2E tiers gain the Aside keys, coverage matrix and eval baselines updated, size budget re-baselined to parity-baseline-v1.80.0.0.json (the contract plus fallback ride in every browsing skill), parity ceilings ratcheted with measured values, LLM-judge prompts and the E2E fixtures speak Aside-first, browse-fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: Aside first, gstack browser fallback
README, BROWSER.md, docs/, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, ARCHITECTURE, AGENTS.md, TODOS and the root router describe the one product story: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; the bundled headless browser is the automatic fallback (Linux, Windows, app closed) where cookie import, GStack Browser, pair-agent and browser-skills still apply.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs, llms.txt, agents digest, ship goldens, context-budget fixture
bun run gen:skill-docs over the templates; goldens re-rendered; context-budget ceilings recaptured.

* v1.80.0.0: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; the bundled browser is the fallback
MINOR: new capability across ten skills, the renderer and research; nothing removed. CHANGELOG release summary + itemized changes; VERSION 1.80.0.0; package.json 1.80.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(todos): file non-Claude host ownership-gate and version-heading pin follow-ups
Two follow-ups from the /plan-ceo-review + /plan-eng-review pass on merging
PR #2804 with main's v1.80.0.0 ownership gate: bring the Codex/Factory/
OpenCode/Cursor/Kiro copy loops and the stale-render prune under the
.gstack-owned marker rule, and a free test pinning that the CHANGELOG top
heading equals VERSION (the collision that git cannot see).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: pre-landing review fixes for the Aside-first branch
Review army + adversarial passes (Claude and Codex) on the merged branch:
setup
- _prune_stale_generated scans the host dirs too (the generator already
removed the render before setup ran, so the host branch was dead), skips
symlinks in the render tree (rm -rf on a slash-terminated link empties its
target), removes a host symlink only when it resolves into gstack, cleans a
bannered real dir through _cleanup_weak_dir, recognizes frontmatter-renamed
skills, and logs through log. The always-run codex render passes every host
dir that may link to it.
- NEEDS_BUILD checks all three binaries (with $_EXE) and lib/ sources; the
browser hint and the bootstrap summary honor GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE, treat a
requested skip as a request, and derive one skill list.
lib/aside-render.ts + bin/gstack-render.ts
- The loopback server carries a per-render secret path, checks containment on
the real path (symlink escapes are 403), and rejects malformed encoding.
- Inline eval results are one base64 line, so page text cannot forge
ASIDE_DIR= or the sentinel; the last ASIDE_DIR wins.
- runProc escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL, bounds every wait, and clears every
timer (an uncleared one kept gstack-render alive after printing OK).
- renderTmpDir refuses a shared /tmp name owned by someone else; the work dir
and server are created inside try; goto's budget follows the render budget.
- probeAside classifies a present-but-failing CLI as ASIDE_NOT_RUNNING like
the skills' bash probe; render() retries on gstack's own browser when Aside
could not start or its private CDP bridge is gone (never on a page error
or a timeout of a running script); the CLI reports the engine that actually
rendered, exits 0 on --help, rejects non-numeric flags, documents
--wait-timeout, fences EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS as untrusted content, and names the
daemon's cookie-import JS lock remedy.
- The browse path passes --scale only when asked (a scale change rebuilds
the daemon context) and restores the viewport after a sized screenshot.
resolvers / templates
- The bash probe honors GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE and has a perl deadline on stock
macOS; .local is no longer LOCAL (mDNS); same-origin filters compare parsed
origins; link status is HEAD-checked only on LOCAL targets; every
aside exec goes through the receipted _aside_exec prelude
({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}}), including nine template blocks that called it
bare; the design sketch and diagram staging use private directories.
- The generator prunes only bannered renders and never a host whose
generation failed.
Docs, stale comments and dead code cleaned; goldens re-rendered; tests
updated and added for every behavior above.

* test: coverage for the render CLI, setup rebuild check, make-pdf exit codes, and prose $B spans
New free tests from the ship coverage audit: test/gstack-render-cli.test.ts
(argv guards, --help, output contract with a fake daemon, failure and
serve-root paths, no-browser case, prompt exit), test/setup-needs-build.test.ts
(every binary and source set flips NEEDS_BUILD, Windows suffixes),
make-pdf/test/cli-exit-codes.test.ts and setup-smoke.test.ts (error to exit
code mapping, runSetup stages, renderPdf's engine), and prose-span cases for
extractBrowseCommands in test/skill-parser.test.ts.

* docs: CHANGELOG and TODOS cover the review fixes (v1.81.0.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: sync project docs with the v1.81.0.0 review fixes
BROWSER.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md,
docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md and docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md now describe the
shipped renderer and setup: the loopback render server's per-render secret
path and real-path containment, ENGINE= naming the engine that actually
rendered (mid-run retry on gstack's own browser), EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS fenced as
untrusted content, --wait-timeout and the CLI's argv guards, the receipted
_aside_exec prelude ({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}} in the placeholder table), the
LOCAL host rule without .local, LOCAL-only HEAD checks in the links script,
GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE across probe/renderer/setup, the ownership-gated
retired-skill prune, the widened NEEDS_BUILD check, and the new free tests
(gstack-render-cli, setup-prune-stale-generated, setup-browser-hint,
setup-needs-build, make-pdf cli-exit-codes and setup-smoke).

* docs: CHANGELOG states the precise mid-run retry rule
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): skill-e2e-bws slices the $B setup block from the Browser fallback section
browse/SKILL.md no longer has '## SETUP' / '## Core QA Patterns' (Aside is the
primary driver; the $B block moved under 'Browser fallback'), so the gate test
sliced an empty block and handed the agent nothing to run. Anchor on
'### Find the `$B` binary' up to the next heading. 7/7 pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): gate POSIX-only fixtures off Windows
windows-free-tests: the gstack-render CLI tests drive a shebang fake browse
that CreateProcess cannot exec, and two NEEDS_BUILD cases assert an execute
bit and a bare-name miss that MSYS bash does not have (test -x ignores mode
bits and resolves design -> design.exe). Those describes and cases now
self-skip on win32; argument guards, --help, the no-browser case, and every
other rebuild-check case still run there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(render): runProc waits for the exit code until the kill deadline; newtab retries once on a cold daemon
A process whose pipes have reached EOF is exiting, but runProc gave the exit
code only five seconds to arrive and then returned null, which run() reports
as a failed command. Under CI's six-shard load one such render failed with the
artifact already written. The SIGTERM/SIGKILL timers already bound the wait,
so the exit race now runs to the kill deadline.
The first CLI call auto-starts the browse daemon; on a cold start it can
answer 'Unable to connect' once while the server is still coming up. That
single case is retried after 1.5s; every other newtab failure is not.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(aside-render): warm the daemon before live fallback cases; failures name the render error
- Live fallback cases run 'goto about:blank' up to twice before asserting and
skip (never fail) when the daemon cannot come up.
- expectOk() puts r.error and the browse transcript into the assertion so a
failed render is diagnosable from the CI log.
- The argv-contract cases dump the fake's log on a miss.
- File default timeout is 30s: the subject is the CLI contract, not latency.
- Two cases pin the cold-daemon newtab retry and that other errors are not
retried.

gstack x OpenClaw Integration
gstack integrates with OpenClaw as a methodology source, not a ported codebase. OpenClaw's ACP runtime spawns Claude Code sessions natively. gstack provides the planning discipline and methodology that makes those sessions better.
This is a lightweight protocol encoded as prompt text. No daemon. No JSON-RPC. No compatibility matrices. The prompt is the bridge.

└── Dispatch routing (AGENTS.md)
Dispatch Routing
OpenClaw decides at spawn time which tier of gstack support to use:
| Tier | When | Prompt prefix |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | One-file edits, typos, config changes | No gstack context injected |
| Medium | Multi-file features, refactors | gstack-lite CLAUDE.md appended |
| Heavy | Specific gstack skill needed | "Load gstack. Run /X" |
| Full | Complete features, objectives, projects | gstack-full pipeline appended |
| Plan | "Help me plan a Claude Code project" | gstack-plan pipeline appended |
Decision heuristic
- Can it be done in <10 lines of code? -> Simple
- Does it touch multiple files but the approach is obvious? -> Medium
- Does the user name a specific skill (/cso, /review, /qa)? -> Heavy
- Is it a feature, project, or objective (not a task)? -> Full
- Does the user want to PLAN something for Claude Code without implementing yet? -> Plan
Dispatch routing guide (for AGENTS.md)
The complete ready-to-paste section lives in openclaw/agents-gstack-section.md.
Copy it into your OpenClaw AGENTS.md.
Key behavioral rules (these go ABOVE the dispatch tiers):
- Always spawn, never redirect. When the user asks to use ANY gstack skill, ALWAYS spawn a Claude Code session. Never tell the user to open Claude Code.
- Resolve the repo. If the user names a repo, set the working directory. If unknown, ask which repo.
- Autoplan runs end-to-end. Spawn, let it run the full pipeline, report back in chat. User should never have to leave Telegram.
CLAUDE.md collision handling
When spawning Claude Code in a repo that already has a CLAUDE.md, APPEND gstack-lite/full as a new section. Do not replace the repo's existing instructions.
What gstack generates for OpenClaw
All artifacts live in the openclaw/ directory and are generated by
bun run gen:skill-docs --host openclaw:
gstack-lite (Medium tier)
openclaw/gstack-lite-CLAUDE.md — ~15 lines of planning discipline:
- Read every file before modifying
- Write a 5-line plan: what, why, which files, test case, risk
- Resolve ambiguity using decision principles
- Self-review before reporting done
- Completion report: what shipped, decisions made, anything uncertain
A/B tested: 2x time, meaningfully better output.
gstack-full (Full tier)
openclaw/gstack-full-CLAUDE.md — chains existing gstack skills:
- Read CLAUDE.md and understand the project
- Run /autoplan (CEO + eng + design review)
- Implement the approved plan
- Run /ship to create a PR
- Report back with PR URL and decisions
gstack-plan (Plan tier)
openclaw/gstack-plan-CLAUDE.md — full review gauntlet, no implementation:
- Run /office-hours to produce a design doc
- Run /autoplan (CEO + eng + design + DX reviews + codex adversarial)
- Save the reviewed plan to
plans/<project-slug>-plan-<date>.md - Report back: plan path, summary, key decisions, recommended next step
The orchestrator persists the plan link to its own memory store (brain repo, knowledge base, or whatever is configured in AGENTS.md). When the user is ready to build, spawn a FULL session that references the saved plan.
Native methodology skills
Published to ClawHub. Install with clawhub install:
gstack-openclaw-office-hours— Product interrogation (6 forcing questions)gstack-openclaw-ceo-review— Strategic challenge (10-section review, 4 modes)gstack-openclaw-investigate— Operational debugging (4-phase methodology)gstack-openclaw-retro— Operational retrospective (weekly review)
Source lives in openclaw/skills/ in the gstack repo. These are hand-crafted
adaptations of the gstack methodology for OpenClaw's conversational context.
No gstack infrastructure (no browser, no telemetry, no preamble).
Spawned session detection
When Claude Code runs inside a session spawned by OpenClaw, the OPENCLAW_SESSION
environment variable should be set. gstack detects this and adjusts:
- Skips interactive prompts (auto-chooses recommended options; destructive or irreversible options are never auto-chosen — the conservative choice wins and gets recorded in the completion report)
- Suppresses interactive-onboarding instruction blocks at emission (upgrade checks, telemetry prompts, feature discovery, routing injection, tips), so one-time prompts survive intact for the next human session
- Suppresses the Conductor prose signal (
CONDUCTOR_SESSION: true) — a spawned session inside a Conductor workspace auto-chooses instead of rendering prose to nobody - Focuses on task completion and prose reporting
Set the env var in sessions_spawn: env: { OPENCLAW_SESSION: "1" }
Explicit override: GSTACK_SESSION_KIND
GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned is the explicit per-command marker for the same
classification, outranking every ambient env marker (including
OPENCLAW_SESSION and GSTACK_HEADLESS). It exists because Claude Code
subagents inherit the parent session's env byte-for-byte (#2733) — a
dispatching skill marks its subagent by prefixing the preamble invocation on
the same command line:
GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned "$_SS" --skill "document-release" ...
gstack itself uses this: /ship Step 18 dispatches the /document-release
subagent with this prefix so its interactive gates auto-choose instead of
prose-stopping. Deliberately narrow: only spawned is honored — headless
already has GSTACK_HEADLESS, and letting an env var force interactive
over CI markers would be a misclassification footgun. Empty or other values
are reserved and ignored (fall through to ambient detection). Note that hook
processes inherit the harness env, so a per-command prefix never reaches
PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks — the hook texts carry a spawned escape sentence
for that topology (hosts/claude/hooks/spawned-directive.ts).
Tamper visibility. Any mechanism that injects session-wide env (a cloned
repo's .claude/settings.json env block, direnv, a CI wrapper) could set
GSTACK_SESSION_KIND=spawned for a real human's session and silently flip
its confirmation gates to auto-choose. When the env override drives the
classification, the preamble emits a loud SPAWNED_OVERRIDE: env status line
so the transcript shows WHY the session is spawned — audit
.claude/settings.json env blocks in untrusted repos (/cso covers this).
Installation
For OpenClaw users: tell your OpenClaw agent "install gstack for openclaw."
The agent should:
- Install gstack-lite CLAUDE.md into its coding session templates
- Install the 4 native methodology skills
- Add dispatch routing to AGENTS.md
- Verify with a test spawn
For gstack developers: ./setup --host openclaw outputs this documentation.
The actual artifacts are generated by bun run gen:skill-docs --host openclaw.
What we don't do
- No dispatch daemon (ACP handles session spawning)
- No Clawvisor relay (no security layer needed)
- No bidirectional learnings bridge (brain repo is the knowledge store)
- No JSON schemas or protocol versioning
- No SOUL.md from gstack (OpenClaw has its own)
- No full skill porting (coding skills stay native to Claude Code)
